The Republic of Caluriva is a fledgling, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its compulsory military service. The compassionate, democratic population of 6 million Calurivan are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 40.0%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The fair Calurivan economy, worth 202 billion Calumions a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Beef-Based Agriculture industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Soda Sales. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 33,822 Calumions, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Foreign policy is to avoid standing up to bullies, college students make ends meet by selling their kidneys, it's considered providence that the political lexicon contains a syrup of company slogans, and whenever pilots have to bail out the government bails out their company. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Caluriva's national animal is the Resakon, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Caluriva is ranked 145,275^th in the world and 358^th in Starlight for Highest Poor Incomes, with 24,202.82 Standard Monetary Units.
